"Ji Hanyu, do you know? You’re the stupidest fool in the world."

But she really loves this fool!

Bai Haoxue tightly embraces Ji Hanyu, eventually crying herself to sleep in his arms.

Feeling distressed, Ji Hanyu gently places her on the bed and tucks her in.

He knew that if she found out, she’d be deeply hurt and shocked.

No matter what, Bai Xiang is still her father.

At that moment, Ji Hanyu’s phone rings, and to avoid disturbing Bai Haoxue’s rest, he promptly hangs up.

However, seeing the caller ID, Ji Hanyu softly closes the door and steps out with his phone.

On the balcony, Ji Hanyu redials the number, "Did you find him?"

"Yes, he’s been spotted in G City."

"Got it, keep tracking him."

Soon after, Ji Hanyu heads to West Garden where Li Mingmo lives to find him.

Li Mingmo has just finished his shower and walks out to see Ji Hanyu standing in his room.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

Startled, Li Mingmo hurriedly wraps his towel tighter around himself.

He had casually draped the towel on, and before he knew it, Ji Hanyu had seen everything.

Li Mingmo deeply feels that he’s let down his future wife.

He hasn’t kept his chastity for his bride.

Li Mingmo: "Ji Hanyu, don’t you knock before entering someone else’s room?"

Ji Hanyu: "When I enter my own room, I never knock."

Li Mingmo: "..."

Alas, he can’t afford to offend him; he truly is a pitiable lodger in someone else’s home.

Li Mingmo says, "You didn’t get kicked out by your wife, did you? Is that why you’re here?"

Ji Hanyu gives him a cold glance, "For such a statement, it’s best for a man without a wife to keep quiet, lest it becomes a ’smell the fragrance’ warning.

Besides, you don’t even have a wife. Saying things like that just makes it seem like you’re very sour."

Li Mingmo: "..."

Ha, having a wife is so great, huh!

"Do you have any missions lately?" Ji Hanyu asks Li Mingmo.

"No, why? What’s up?" Li Mingmo says, "Since I joined the army, I’ve never taken a break.

And now, after being attacked twice consecutively, higher-ups have specifically arranged a holiday for me. They said I could return to work once they catch the culprit.

Moreover, taking a break might actually help them catch the perpetrator sooner."

After all, when they’re on a mission, it’s top secret. No one can contact or find them except direct superiors.

But last time, during a mission, he was ambushed by Number Three.

This matter has already drawn significant attention from the top...

Ji Hanyu then asks, "You really want to find Xi Wei, don’t you?"

"Who wants to find her?" Li Mingmo’s eyes dart around, and he looks very guilty.

Quickly changing the topic, Li Mingmo says, "Ji Hanyu, are you unwell tonight? Both your questions are so weird and unrelated."

Ji Hanyu says, "Your brain’s stuck, that’s why you think so.

My questions are clearly connected, because you don’t have a mission, I can give you one, providing you a legitimate reason to find Xi Wei.

This way, those who speak one thing but mean another, always itching to act but unable to swallow their pride, won’t suffer.

Thus sparing my wife from any trouble."

Li Mingmo: "..."

Isn’t it just that I asked Bai Haoxue every day, every hour, about the "Seeking Words in the Golden Era" crew?

That’s because I’m genuinely interested in that drama!
